Peter Gammons rips the Reds and Bud Selig

[Lefty]

It looks like the Reds are going to give the Yankees Aaron Boone and Gabe White for Claussen and 3.5 million dollars. Gammons said this is a disgrace and that the commissioner is doing nothing.

Remember when Commissioner Kuhn vetoed the A's and Red Sox trade of Joe Rudi and Rollie Fingers for cash? Gammons thinks Bud should step in but. Harold Reynolds also agreed with Peter.

Gammons is right to rip Bud..... Baseball simply does NOT have a real Commissioner in place to uphold the integrity of the game! The Reds fire sale is the current test... and Bud is failing miserably!

Aaron Boone goes to the Evil Empire for a LH pitcher & cash; Jeff Suppan (along with two other pitchers) is going from Pittsburgh to Boston for two pitching prospects.

I'm not sure Selig would stop any trade at any time - maybe this is his own method of contraction!!

Ponson goes to Giants...

why dont you bitch some more about it? mondesi has had some decent years in the national league, we did not give up anything for him and compared to our right fielders his numbers are at least three times better than anyone we had out there. if you dont like the guy that is fine but at least admit that he is better than what we were putting out there all season.

i will admit that he is bettar than what we currently have but the guy is a head case. has been a locker room problem wherever he has played. there were bettar players available that would have helped this team alot more. Boone especially.
